Reviews
I do not recommend eating at the dinner buffet. We did not have a good experience with it. I had some rice that was not cooked and was hard, my wife tried their fried sardines but those still had bones in them. The buffet was the worse and most expensive meal we had for our entire trip.
Also, as a heads up, they have an all-inclusive package but you need to read carefully because not everything is included in that package.
One drawback, however, was that the pools close at 6pm…which is really early if you are out and about throughout the day and want to enjoy a nice dip in the pool to relax afterwards. The hotel also had some hidden fees. Laundry is insanely expensive and the hotel website made it seem like this was included. Also, it was really loud at night one night but I’m unsure if that’s due to the hotel or a local concert.
There are loads of bars & restaurants in the area and it's all really accessible. The staff at the hotel helped us book a local excursion which was really helpful.
There are 3 swimming pools at the hotel, including one indoors.
The room we stayed in was a good size, and it was worth paying a bit extra for a balcony & sea view.
The beds are comfortable but there don't appear to be any double beds, only singles pushed together.
The (half-board) food is nice, but pretty standard buffet style stuff. It was all labelled but it wasn't always clear what was vegetarian/vegan and what had meat in it. However it was all pretty tasty. We did prefer to eat out in the evenings though as there are so many good restaurants in the area.
There is also a Bistro cafe and an A La Carte restaurant on site, both facing the beach, and at the right time you can catch a lovely sunset too. We had nice drinks at the cafe a few times, and ate at the restaurant twice and enjoyed the food there.
The staff were mostly all really helpful & friendly. We only had a disappointing interaction once. The reception staff could speak an impressive array of different languages which would be super helpful!
The hotel is very clean and tidy, and there are quite a few spaces where you can just sit and pass the time if you wish.
We had a brilliant time at the Aquila Porto, and I would definitely recommend it, even just for the location alone!
Food at breakfast, lunch and dinner is excellent! The desserts are incredible. Drinks and snacks at the bar are included in all inclusive. The drinks are quite strong and not watered down like you might get at other hotels with all inclusive.
The hotel has its own section of beach with a lot of lounge chairs for sunbathing. Refreshments can be ordered to the beach lounge chairs, too.
